Sprouting

Does anyone here have any experience with automatic sprouters like this one or this one? The first one (pictured below) looks a little bit like a cheap gadget, but they'd be really nice as a little desk garden I think. Maybe I'll get a miniature gnome for it.

Anyway, if anyone has tried any of those, let me know. I really want something a lot more hands-off than a jar/bag/collander solution because I tend to be forgetful.

In other news, the folks in Guantanamo Bay are going to be held indefinitely and there are no plans to ever charge them with anything. To be clear: they have no plans to either release them or try them for any crime. Permanent life sentence.
